>Leave home regular time>Immense traffic due to accident on the road>Send Manager text saying "There is a lot of traffic I'll be a few minutes late.">He responds, "Stay home.">I respond with LMAO emoji>Get to work>He wasn't kidding>WTF?!>MFW

Are you serious? I'm 3 minutes late because of unsuspected traffic due to an accident on the road. THREE FUCKING MINUTES. The worst part is how smug he was about this shit; like dude, I break my back everyday at work and you do this?! FUCK YOU.

>Work a shitty paid job revolving around cooking chemicals at some dickhole American company>Department manager is a fucking pussy who takes dick from his bosses>Complain about formaldehyde fumes >I'm quarantined doing something in another part of the factory for a day>They fire me the next day by text because they would rather just remove me than fix a health risk>report them for unsafe work practices>former boss gets fired and company fined for £200,000

>>704691020It's a small company; the boss and the manager are butt-buddies so no go on that :/Three minutes is well within the grace period of every company out there. Sure being late is no good, but it's not like I just showed up late; I let the dude know 20 minutes ahead of time that I'm going to be a few minutes late due to traffic.

It did nothing to my health, the exposure was only over a couple of days, but the ventilation system we used over the rollers and ovens was awful and we couldn't turn it up much or it would reduce the heat in the ovens and fuck up the process.

We worked with some nasty shit, Potassium Cyanide, Silver Nitrate, Diisocyantes, etc and I dont like to breathe that kind of crap.

The worst part was I had 2 co-workers who didn't give a shit about it, either they just didn't give a fuck about breathing in poison, needed the job too much or were just retarded.

The manager met me at the door when I was trying to get in (someone has to open the entrance from the inside.) He was salty about the LMAO emoji; I told him I genuinely thought he was being sarcastic, he wasn't.

He's a pussy that loves to tell tall tales about his past and hates when anyone questions his judgement; arguing with him or defying him would only escalate the situation further and get his Boss man butt buddie involved.

>>704691963Nope, that's not how it works, I believe employers have to call you off several hours (possibly 24 hours) once you have been scheduled. I had an employer try this shit a few minutes before I left...I said sweet made my two hours, and I got paid for them too.

>>704691736I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to send me home, I'm just saying doing that is wayyy over the top given the situation at hand.

>>704691795Nope, I'm the IT/Technician who is in charge of testing, configuring and fixing damn near all the shit they sell. On top of that, if anything computer related ever goes wrong, I'm the one to fix it. I get paid healthy. I'm replaceable, sure, but definitely not expendable like a warehouse worker.

>>704691928True; but I literally laughed when I got the text, I though that shit was pretty witty and funny.

>>704692437One time, I told the dude I'll be 30 minutes late and hour before work started. I was exactly 29 minutes late and he was still salty; like dude, shit comes up sometimes ok?! I do what I can, and I sure as hell make sure you're informed %100 of the way through. Yesterday we (4 guys) all went out to get Subway and because of traffic and lines we all simultaneously showed up 11 minutes late from our 30 minute lunch. We didn't take any break afterwards to compensate for the time lost.

Fucking power tripping asshole. Unless you had a history of chronic lateness (over 5 mins late several times a month) then the decent and professional thing would be to let it slide. Especially since you're working a job where you being a few minutes late has literally zero impact on their operation.I've worked places where production starts at 9 you need to be in position at 9 and if you're even one minute late it fucks everyone else over. In that case it's your coworkers who'll take it out on you by being inflexible in regards to shift swaps and vacation requests and such.It seems like your manager is a fucking asshole and you should probably jerk off in his lunch.

>>704690803>work at HVAC supply house>in the warehouse, have to move around all the parts and metal>sheet metal is fucking heavy>boss tells me to bring 20 sheets to truck for delivery >do it 2 at a time for speeds sake>tells me the guy cancelled the delivery >have to bring all the metal back >2 hours later >different delivery also for 20 sheets>tfw when I had to move the same 20 sheets 3 times

>>704692914Looking at other jobs right now. Their company went bankrupt before and lost all it's employees. I got hired as they're trying to rebuild their infrastructure from scratch. Treating employees like this is not a good way to build a strong team that actually wants to accomplish goals and advance; it makes people want to come in, do the least possible and collect a check.

>>704692983Yep, I'm about to send out a resume to a couple other jobs right now. Unfortunately I don't have any official technical/computer education so that's my only set-back; Also I'm only 21 so some people might get the impression I'm experienced, but believe me, I know my shit.

What kind of job do you have now? Like what field of IT do you work in?

I'm a cook at hometown buffet and the AM here is a fucking she devil. Hates everyone who isn't Mexican, treats everyone like shit, cuts hours if piss her off at all, another cook's kid was being born and she wouldn't let him go to the hospital to see the birth, she cut my hours because I wouldn't come in on a day off cuz I was out of town visiting family....cut me down to two half days...oh and she always has a pissed off look on her face. Lawsuits have been filed but nothing has happened. What's worse is the GM let's this all happen cuz he's a spinless bitch. So yeah not the worst story but it's what I got

>>704690803Honestly OP it sounds like you're one of those people that are just more trouble than they are worth. This isn't about simply being three minutes late, this is about having a history of frustrating them. If you truly don't know what the problem is then it's probably your personality that grinds on someone. Welcome to IRL.

As a boss, someone being late more than once is a sign of a problem. You know what time you are supposed to be at work, and you are expected to be there. A bad accident on the road is a good excuse if you don't already have a problem, but when it's your 4th excuse, I'm sending you home. You can't let one guy do it and not let the others. I start at 6am and arrive no later than 5:30. If there is an accident or something unexpected, I still make it on time. I've been here six years and I've never been late. Calling an hour before hand to tell them you'll be late is also not OK. You seem like every employee that I have that is a problem... Clueless, uncaring, obnoxious, and deserving.

>>704694591This times a billion. We had a girl miss the weeks with no excuse once... this was in addition to some other issues. She begged to come back and her manager let her. A few days later she misses again and claims it was for her grandma's funeral AFTER the fact... no call or anything. They shit can her. She tells everyone she was fired for going to her grandma's funeral. People like OP are incredibly clueless and full of excuses as to why nothing is their fault.

I worked for 5 months in a company as a wage slave.>Live far from it, 20 km, almost 2 hours in the bus>So i get there always late like 10-20 minutes>The owner said i would get 960 bucks per month>My first paycheck: 880 bucks>Go talk to him>"You get this amount in the first 3 months">"sure buddy :^)">So I work there for another 4 months coming there almost everyday 15 minutes late>he "couldnt" fire me cause my stepfather is his friend since their 20s>tfw my boss is my neighbor>I had to leave cause i decided to go back to college>feels goodcont?

>>704690803>work at family store>boss is dad>dad is boss>arrive on time mostly, occasionally come in late due to traffic >have to be in at 7:30>wake up at 8 one day>figure dad will be lenient >traffic is murder, don't get in until 8:45>"you act like you can show up whenever">get mad because father>"just go home">"don't come in tomorrow">mfw got fired by dad

>>704694591I can see that. Me and this dude don't mesh too well. But I get along great with everyone else and I sure as hell work hard and get more then required done.He just hates to have his judgement questioned; this dude has the Napoleon Complex. There is a few times when he's told me to do XYZ and I did it my own way to achieve the same thing except it accommodate my workflow better. He would come over and make me change things around just so it was the way he wanted.

>>704694971Oh no. Insulted for making decent money and being a responsible person. That hurts coming from a worthless deadbeat like you. Your insults are a meaningful your life spent insulting people from a computer and explaining how cool you are for not being another brick in the wall. Fag.

Once I held my lunchbreak for 30 min and 15 sec instead of 30 min straight. Had huge stomachpains that day, so couldnt really help it. Got a warning and was sent to a meeting about how being at work on time is important that took like 20 mins..

>>704695199Again. I have a few of you here. You're paid to do it the way you are asked. I have a maintenance guy like you and it is infuriating. He always knows better. Always does it his way. It never works out because he doesn't understand the bigger picture. Just show up on time and do what you're told. If it doesn't work, then it is my fault. Work can be extremely simple if you just do what you're told. Guys like you are awful to have. I'm just being 100 percent honest with you so you can hopefully make a change.

>>704694856If the company isn't paying me for that two extra hours I have to get up every morning to make it in just in case an accident makes me late, they don't get that extra time. It's really as simple as that.

Yes and no, I'm just drifting from job to job at the moment, they're all low wage part time crappy things, but im young and I would prefer to save money and figure out what I want to do that grind my face on a career path that I hate.

>>704695540That's fine, but again, if you make a habit of being late, you can't cry when it finally becomes an issue. I have 24 good workers and 4 that are a pain in the ass. They're the first to go when I have to cut people. That's just the real world.

>>704695485How the fuck is you being a micro-managing little cunt helping anyone get anything done? All that shit accomplishes is ostracizing your employees and lowering worker morale until you have a bunch of soulless flesh sacs lazing around all day, waiting to collect their pay cheques.

>>704695199Bosses gonna boss. There's a reason why certain people are in charge, it's not just dumb luck or "I've been here longer than him". It's very common for them to be dicks actually, they aren't there to make friends, they're expected to keep the cattle moving. A douchebag manager is a business owner's wet dream, they get shit done and just don't give a fuck about interpersonal bs. Micromanaging assholes suck to work for but I can assure you that you're Napoleon wasn't hired accidentally, that jerk was at the top of the list because he's a jerk.

>>704695716No doubt. I'm just saying the personality type. She was the worst example I know of... just the idea that she actually thinks she got fired for gmas funeral like op thinks he was sent home over 3 minutes. It's more than that.

>>704695659It's not 3 minutes, that's the problem. People that think they need to be in the door by 8am are just worthless employees. You need to be in, have already gotten your coffee, booted up your computer, taken a piss, talked about last night's sporting event, etc, and be ready to work at 8. So 3 minutes is really about 33 minutes and keeps other people from doing shit while you distract them too.

>be me>work 18 months on a startup project in china>pay everything by myself, other associates can't put a dime in the show>go back and forth every 3 weeks because so permanent visa>pay a crazy amount on rent, food, travels to develop business>fast forward to last month, me and my chinese partner (both 25 years old) managed to get a few good deals to get the cash flowing>bosses came 10 days in total in Shanghai, managed to fuck up a meeting so badly all the project gets called off>"anon, we'll split the remaining money evenly">12 hours after, I'm on the flight home>just had 18 months of my life taken away because old managers don't understand the subtlety of working in the 21st century>didn't even get to cover my costs>feels bad man

>>704695790It isn't always micro managing. I don't do that. Often times though there is a way we want something done because of future plans that the employee isn't aware of... he does it his way instead, and now the future plan is fucked up.

Oh shit, this is my thread now. >Missing 500 dollars on my salary. >Tell boss, give her all she needs to see there has been a mistake. >Even calculate the god damn pay I should have for her. > "Ok anon, I will look into it." Wait 2 months, keep getting the same reply. >Boss is going on vacation, another guy steps in. 2 weeks later and I am getting my money. Same shit next month again... >"So... I am missing 300 dollars from my pay..">"I'll look into it anon." >"So you mean it is going to take 1000 years?" >"Anon, don't have that fucking attitude with me..."

>>704690803>Are you serious? I'm 3 minutes late because of unsuspected traffic due to an accident on the road. THREE FUCKING MINUTES

If you had been a good employee, you would make an effort every day to arrive at work at least 15 minutes early, so that you wouldn't be negatively impcated by traffic, Also anyone that cares about arriving on time will use google maps to find alternate routes and still arrive on time.

>The worst part is how smug he was about this shit;

I'm betting this is a habitual thing from you, ergo the boss getting annoyed by it constantly and fed up with you. Not that you would be honest about that.

>like dude, I break my back everyday at work and you do this?! FUCK YOU.

No one that is critical to a business will ever be sent home for being three minutes late. so I'm betting you're lying about this part as well. I've had your type as employees in the past, think their shit don't stink but barely break even on doing work/making work. Unfortunately with your attitude you'll never come to the realization that you're the problem.

>>704695485Maybe he does know better because he's an actual technician but you're the hardheaded dickhead boss that just won't listen to anyone's suggestions because you're the only one wise enough to see the "big picture"?

>>704695832I understand that completely; I'm not a pussy and I can the criticism and make a positive change if I ever fuck up; but this situation here is over the top for no visible reason apart from that dudes personal feeling about the situation, so fuck him.

>>704695837$15/hr for being 21 and un-certified in anyway; not amazing but healthy for my current lifestyle.

>>704696237That's not the way it works in any business. Letting you know the plan implies that they give a shit what you think - and they don't. They have a plan to paint some masterpiece and you were hired to deliver the paints. Stop interrupting the artist, you're the delivery boy. If you want to be an artist go right ahead, but do it somewhere else. Not specifically you anon, but that's the mentality - and you know what? It works.

>>704696280This too. I always make a habit of being 45 mins to an hour early everyday. Then I just chill, smoke a joint outside, get a coffee and eat. I've never been late once and I've worked at this place for 3 years.

>>704696057>You would make an effort every day to arrive at work at least 15 minutes earlyLike I said before, from this point forth I'm aiming to arrive at-least 15 minutes early to any job I ever have, so I'm taking something positive out of this shit situation.

>I'm betting this is a habitual thing from you, ergo the boss getting annoyed by it constantly and fed up with you. Not that you would be honest about that.Maybe, but if he's a dickhead I'm not the type of person to just bend over and take it; I know this characteristic is a very double edged sword.

>No one that is critical to a business will ever be sent home for being three minutes lateRight?! You'd think that? I do too, but I'm the guy everything, I mean everything goes through to be tested before it goes on sale ... There have been multiple times I didn't take a lunch break just so I could get more done. So I do actually work hard and hold an important position. Maybe there's something manager man knows that I don't, but fuck that guy regardless.

"How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?"

>work at pool parlour>am white>chinese boss>start off at $12 an hour>after 2 weeks get bumped up to $15>suddenly my boss takes me back down to $12>says its because I'm not doing a good job>only thing i can think of doing is having the till -$2 one night, apart from that i was very polite and well spoken to everyone, i love pool and really cared for the place because i go there every day, plus I'm the only fluent English speaker there so its good for customers>if the shop was quiet i would clean the ques, wipe down the tables, brush the cloth, not just sit around and watch youtube like all the other chinese employees>one of the perks of my work was being able to play pool for free>i would only play when it was quiet there so i didn't take a table that customers could use>boss then takes away my free pool deal because fuck knows why>quit

>Currently work in restaurant.>Most experienced employee in kitchen>Tell me that a kitchen manager position is up for grabs.>Bust ass and train up new crew ASAP.>They hire some mixed chick who has the same experience as me.>Start letting her call all the shots.>I see through the transparency.>All the cooks talk about how they don't like her style and wish I was back in command.>Her water bottle is always full of vodka.>TL;DR: Bitchy, funny colored alcoholic bitch is trying to take over and they don't pay me enough to care. >Still highest paid in kitchen, and still highest in the morning when I walk through the door.

>>704697425He just said he uses that time to smoke and eat retard. He'd spend the exact same amount of time doing it at home anyway, except here he'll never chance being late and it looks good to the boss when you come in 10-15 minutes early.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it.

>>704698186I'm the fucking leader of anonymous, you twat. And now you've thoroughly pissed me off. I wasn't even that close to edge, and yet your miserable dribble has actually managed to push me off. You hear that? To the end of the line. THE BREAKING POINT. Normally I dismiss this kind of shit without a second thought, but you've crossed a certain boundary you fucking faggot. And you should have known better, you should have realized what could happen if you took your joke a little too far. But you failed, and now will await the repercussions. Fuck I haven't even gotten my hacking laptop out in years, I think that shit is still running some pirated version of XP. But it's time to brush the dust off and set an example, because clearly faggots like you are too young to know what can really happen when you mess with the likes of our group. I hope you're ready for what's in store, because mommy won't be able to save you this time. Best you pack your bags and flee now, flee to whatever remote shit hole you can hide to. And you better pray we won't find you. But we will, and when that day comes you will rue the day you made what was seemingly a harmless comment on an anonymous message board. The clock's ticking, pal. Tick tock. Your time is about to run out

>>704698661Oh man, it would take hours to cover 10% of the crazy shit I saw there>Chinese business dev director, can only say three words "I speak english">Rampant corruption, litterally everywhere>the chinese government selling fake invoices to lower taxes (unbeatable price: 6RMB for 15k€ worth of fake invoices)>got paid 10 iPhones for showing up in a convention pretending to be the business director of a fortune 500 company to announce an investment plan. shit was funny, I spoke right after the ambassador of south korea, nobody asked questions even though I was 24 at the time

All in all I'm glad it ended because 90% of working in CHina is about avoiding politics and other unqualified businessmen

>>704690803If you told them 30~ min in advance that "Hey, unexpected shit. I'll be 5 min late, sorry." He's retarded. If you're rarely late and work hard, there's 0 reason to react like that.

Late often with similar reasons? Don't work hard? Always being a smartass? Fine, he's probably right. But how you've framed it he comes off as a prick and a garbage boss.

My current place of work has a simple rule. If you're late, tell us. If you're late, you're staying extra after your shift was supposed to end to make it up. If it happens too often, you're written up. We've had 2 people written up for being late cunts in the past year. Both eventually quite because they were lazy bitches.

>>704699251I have to admit the Chinese are ballsy. I worked for a businessman that had several businesses serving each other, through multiple conflicts of interest. Some of the companies were only identified by registry numbers and they were in his childrens' names, who were all minors.

Yeah, I used to work in a restaurant that got bought out by a Chinese family. They tried to make us participate in their culture and explain to us that standing up for ourselves was disrespectful to your superiors. I laughed in his face and told him "Welcome to America. Where everyone thinks they matter and if you don't pay me, you'll get a call from my lawyer."

German fag here btw had to work since iam 13. (German fag here btw)I'll start with a kinda weird one which ended pretty cool.>be 19>working at a beer garden (pretty common here in germany) >boss comes up to me and asks if iam handy with tools and shit>i reply that i know basics but iam all in all a starter>boss laughs and says, we can change that sometimes, i got a house to tear off.>we laugh and i shrug it off thinking he is goofing around as always.>boss knows where i live and on a saturday morning around 8 am he showes up with a van telling me to get in>at first, this was the weirdest scene i've ever experienced in my life>my boss i a tiny man, around 165 cm (idc what thats in imperial measurements) and really big, like really really big, he sometimes looked like he couldn't fit through his front door lol>there was also my new coworker in the van, so i thought we might go buy supplies for the beer garden>after some chatting ( i just got up, had no coffee or a cigarette) my boss tells me that we're going to tear down this house he was telling about>okay.jpeg>i get in after getting some stuff, putting my clothes on etc.>boss drives us three to a place 150 miles away from where i live.>the "village" is a tiny settlement almost entirely consisting out of trailers and shitty vacation bungalows>whatisthisplacearewegoingtodie.exe? starts rushing down my neck>my boss laughs as he sees me: "we're not going to stay forever, keep your calm boy">we drive through this sea of trailer parks and shitty bungalows>almost 10 minutes of nothingness or trailers. >WHAT IS THIS?>we arrive at the outskirts of this mess and park infront of a huge awesome holiday home.>my boss pointed towards a shitty house besides awesome castle and said:>"That's going down till tommorrow night. Are you guys ready?">We spent 48 hours tearing down a broken ass house in the middle of nowhere while drinking about 30 bottles of beer each.>I made 360 € in two day btw.

>They never recognize the other thousands of days you are fucking early to work, but god forbid you're 1-2 minutes past the clock they will jump down your throat.

THIS

All of you faggots who are saying "oh well only worthless niggers are late hurr hurr", you fuckers need to understand that YOU are worthless. Your boss does not care if you arrive early. Your achievement of arriving before you're supposed to is not something that will be recognized, ever.

What is the difference to a boss between someone who arrives one minute early to their shift and someone who arrives an hour early?

>>704690803He's probably been just waiting for any opportunity. Either you did something to piss him off or he simply wants your spot for a friend, family member or other nepotistic placeholder.

I haven't had this happen but my girlfriend did. She was working for a manufacturing company in their returns department and even though she got to work and clocked in at the same time as her carpool she got fired and her carpool didn't because the philipino fuck who got transfered into her section as the new manager just wanted to hire all his philipino friends. Her carpool still works there and now the whole department is philipino.

Fuck all these protestant fucktards, who find "self-actualization" and "redemption" in "working hard" and earning "well deserved profits". Fuck them in front of their families, fuck them in their nostrils with big veiny black dicks. Committing yourself to work in hopes of a better tomorrow is just another way of escapism, since we will all be dead in the long-run. The biggest and only difference between this and other kinds of escapist behaviors is that the overwhelming majority of the society condones this kind. Your boss gets mad at you op, because he/she thinks that it you steal from his/her well-earned money by showing up late, or you are disrespecting the holy practice of worshiping the work itself. Subconsciously, he/she associates you with the anti-thesis of protestant ethics, the folk who are doomed to perish in hell, for an eternity. He/she can't stand you because of how much you remind him/her the death and other undesirable but as real as it can get aspects of the existence. He/she also fears that by condoning your "irresponsible behavior", he/she will be an oath-breaker in the eyes of god. And finally, he/she cannot condone you, because doing that, would be accepting the very idea that there are random events in the universe that can fuck things up, that are justifiable but still happen, just like the unexpected traffic you ran into that day. The idea of randomness and uncontrollable events haunts him/her.

Jobs are so arbitrary. All you do is bitch about a job that you don't like. Have you ever considered quitting and finding something that you think is rad? Seriously, consider this...

You bitch about your job, that you're habitually late for. That you're unsatisfied with because despite the imperfections of your tenure, you got shit done. A job that you know you should be paid more to do but that won't happen because it's "not in the budget."

Well, quit that shit, do something you love to do. Find a way to make your hobby your dream job, idiots.

>>704700416I remember one time, working with a Chinese project manager. he made a small mistake and had to reorganize the workload. He told his team that he fucked up, and all those guys under his supervision just wouldn't say it. like they kept saying "no, you didn't, there's no mistake" while he was trying to tell them that yes, he did.

>>704691736here in canada when you are scheduled for a shift as long as you show up to that shift no longer then 10 mins late they owe you 4 hours of wage period....dont even matter if you work a minute or not..... if they have you scheduled and send you home they owe you 4 hours period

By this standard I have the dream job sometimes if I'm tired I come in 2 hours late no one bats an eye. Sometimes when I take my sleep ins people can call when we usually start (7 am) need me to fix some problems I wake up by their call and get up and drive to work.

Sometimes if I meet one of the bosses can ask casually if I was tired I just say 'yeah woke up late' and continue my day.

>>704690803>work at a higher class restaurant as a busboy>shitty pay, shitty management and shitty people>busy as fuck one night, parties upstairs and full downstairs >owner tells me to do something >manager who is standing right next to him>tells me to do something completely different >not the first time it's happened>I tell them both I can't do two things at once>manager says you're no use to me then>final straw, said my goodbyes to the staff then told off owner and manager >they were so confused as to why I was quitting>told them to work on communication skills and then collectively fuck themselves

God I hate the food industry, I did find out though that the restaurant has been hemorrhaging money and will be our of business soon

>>704690803Had the same thing happen at the bank I used to work at, only my boss waited until I got my station all set up and called the first customer up, he then proceeded to tell the full lobby that I was leaving and couldn't help. I told him that he could fuck himself, and helped. He tried to tell me I wasn't being paid, but that's illegal and so is docking time for being late if it's less then an hour, here in California.

>>704696652Wow, the mentality presented here is so painfully condescending that I'm honestly shocked you can keep anyone around. If you really think you're that much better than the people you employ, then the problems run deeper than your management style.

>the company where I work started testing products on animals>dogs, to be specific>manager tells me I have to take part>I tell him I have ethical concerns>he writes me up>get told by upper management if I don't do the testing on the dogs, I'll get fired>can't loose this job because money's tight as it is>eventually give in>fucking hate my life for the week that I'm doing it>apply for other jobs at the same time>find another job and quit right awayFuck that place. I'll never work in a hammer factory again.

I got a job on an IT helpdesk once. They threw me on without any training whatsoever. The other people on the phones were too busy to teach me anything. I had fuck all idea what I was doing as they (the clients) used bespoke systems. I simply did not show up after two weeks as it was complete shit and all I got was upset clients complaining about me not knowing shit. I'd actually moved from another company doing similar work for 3 years because the pay was better. But fuck that. If they can't be bothered to at least get you up to speed then they don't deserve anyone.

>>704701343>You're dumb. Yeah, we're all gonna die someday, but every other day we won't.

I am not advocating jerking around for a life time. What I'm having a hard-time to wrap my mind around is over-complication of things. If you are into something, fine. Go and work on it and enjoy it while it lasts. But don't get your anger over me when I am not as enthusiastic as you are.

>Is it really such a mystery/conspiracy to you that people can take pride in their work? I don't know what to tell you, anon. Accomplishing things makes you feel good. Try it sometime.

Yes it is a mystery. And I did accomplish things in my life that made me feel good. As I mentioned, I do not advocate for doing nothing. Thank you for your recommendation.

>>704701081You are part of the problem. "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" sounds good on paper, but it doesn't work out that way, nor should it.

A hobby that you truly love and enjoy is something special, why would I want to turn my beloved and relaxing activity into work? I'd have to make sure I do whatever it is at a steady pace so the money doesn't stop, no more enjoying my hobby at my leisure. Other people would have to be involved, many of whom would most likely tell me how to do my hobby the right way.

You know why most people hate their jobs? It's not because they're not doing something they enjoy. You don't have to enjoy your work to be satisfied with it.

It's because they feel like nobody gives a shit about them, and most companies don't.

just sayin dude, time to get real, if you arnt in the parking lot of your job 20 minutes before start time , you are late, I hope you take your next job more serious cause employers don't need dick headed lazy ass fucks wandering in when ever they feel like it

I'm part of the problem? The fact that I see through the transparencies of "effective management," "quarterly figures," "punctuality in your performance," "promoting from within the company," and all that other bullshit? I'm part of the problem because I have no problem speaking out against it? I'm part of the problem because I have turned my hobby into a job? You're just bitter that you haven't been able to do so... Enjoy watching our boss fuck your wife in front of you on the kitchen table.

>>704690803Same happened to me. Last job. Be 1.5 minutes late because my faggot co worker doesnt know how to get out of bed or pay gas money. Bonus if i leave him then i have to do his shitty job. Boss tells us to go home.

Suck the fat end of my dick. Litterally under 5 minutes late in 2 years. Tell them i want a 2 dollar raise or im never comming back. Get raise. Work 4 days. Quit without notice. Dont even feel bad. The owner was a cunt and i only halfway liked the one coworker that owed me over 3 grand at 5 bucks a day. They can all eat. 100% happy working by myself. Fuck co workers and bosses over your shoulder.

>>704690803>Work at shitty pizza place>am Delivery driver>Hanging out with bro Delivery Drivers in back> Touch cupboard, reaching for cloth because have to keep busy>Door instantly falls off>Drivers try to fix it to no success>put it back until business cools down to tell manager>couple hours later manager calls me in and asks about cupboard>one of those rat drivers got to him first and blame me>begin to explain>"I dont know I...>Cuts me off and tells me to clock out and go home>Yells you lied to me, dont want to see your face, wadda yada>WHole shop looking at us like hes hitler and im the jews>Accept defeat clock out, before I leave i tell him to check the cameras because the door was broke before i touched it>agrees to>3 months later hasnt checked the cameras, still hates me, so i quit>by the end of my time there he gave me literally zero hours bseides for janitor work he made up so fuck him>Couple weeks later i show up there for food with my gf wearing old shop shirt with dicks and slander written all over it>pizza was good boys

>>704702354>>704696335You know what, actually this whole thread makes sense now. Youre a self entitled millennial who thinks he's worth something when truly, your a grunt making $15 an hour. He could replace you instantly. You are truly bottom of the barrel. You're getting paid less than average for a technician already. And I'm basing that number off of a poverty tier (Cleveland) average. Where ever you live should be way more than that.

Self entitled millennial who thinks he means something to the boss. He doesn't give two shits about you or the work you do. You are utter trash.

>>704702480Yes you are right. I also "believe" that those jobs that robots are unsuitable for also happen to be the ones that involve human interaction such as barbers, daycare staff, doctors, art performers etc

How old are you? I'd guess around 25. That's really great that you've managed to turn your hobby into your dream job, you sound enthusiastic about it. What happens when you get sick of it in 10 years? What if you get sick of it in less time than that? What happens when then hobby you loved becomes a soulless and monotonous addition to your daily routine? You don't think it will happen, but it's inevitable.

You don't have to cuck yourself to a company to have a good job. Nor should you try and make your hobby your living.

A good job is one with people in higher positions that genuinely care about people in lower positions. If you are at a company that isn't like this, as most people are, just keep in mind that they don't care.

This seems like the appropriate thread for this question. >how do you get a dickhead lead worker fired?

Probably a farfetched question since i guess hes good at his job, but its unacceptable to be going around deliberately trying to get individuals fired for mundane and petty shit.

Backstory? Real quick.My department was slow so i was sent to help him out. This happens often, sometimes i help him without being asked. I go to the restroom and see him. He instantly cops an attitude and asks me if im going back. I say of course, but tell him I'm going home early (already told my lead) so he'll know to pick up another worker if he needs it. We go back and theres my head boss. First thing that comes out of the dickheads mouth?>did you know hes leaving at 730?And in the same breath he snitched out this other guy whod been working in his department for like 5 hours straight about taking a break without telling anyone when there was literally no one to tell.

This is just one incident. He almost literally rats someone new out each week. And he never approaches the person straight up before hand for a warning. Like he couldve asked me if i told my boss i was leaving early. Or let somebody know when you go on your break next time.

I try not to take shit personal especially in the job, they pay us to deal with people not to like them. But trying to ge me fired is personal.

>>704702714if you arnt on site ready to work at least 20 minutes before punch clock time you are a lazy ass faggot, real men respect their work and don't stroll in late then get a coffee, take a dump, chat with the other lazy ass fucks, you are the problem with the USA you want a honest days pay of 1/3 of a days work, fuck off

And you don't?! Fucking dude is the boss of something bigger. He has to see things you don't get paid to care about, and all sorts of responsibilities, plans and knowledge on how to reach his goals. Even if he is experimenting with something and it turns out to be wrong, that's is a lesson he payed hard earned money to learn. Creativity is appreciated but only where it is needed. He may not have been good to you, but you were not to him either you ass.

you are like the morons that whine about getting a speeding ticket"I was only going as fast as the other cars" well fuck right off I guess it was you lucky day to get schooled that there are requirements in this world and until you can shit 100$ bills you have to follow those requirements, one is BE ON FUCKING TIME, no excuses fagboy

27, and my hobby/job has been working for me. Not the other way around. I'm happy adjusted, food stays in the fridge, the lights stay on and the roof remains over my head. I don't see how I'm such a bad person for not wanting to work for a mega-conglomerate, some chain or for other people in general. I make my own hours, I make my own money. Simple as that. Like I said, you're just jealous.

>>704703298Real men show up to work early, on time, or late. They get paid as they make their coffee and chat about sports with coworkers. Real men then get paid to take their routine morning shit while looking at porn or trolling 4chan. Real men find a way to get the most out of a situation. Find the boundaries and push them. Milk the company for whatever you can. They are doing the same from you.

>>704695341At my job. If you let us know before hand were cool. You have 3 minutes to show up after your scheduled shift time if you dont let us know ahead of time. After 5 minutes its a verbal warning if not a write up and after 30 min its no call no show. Most companies have a grace period and most are cool if you let them know ahead of time.

Your logic and reasoning was nothing but gibberish to me. All I read from it was this...

>Suck the corporate cock>Cuck cuck cuck cuck.

And I mean no disrespect by this. I used to have a shitty job for a company. But one day, I realized 12/hour to run a kitchen full of what seemed like children was not enough. So, I left. In the middle of my shift. Never looked back. Also, you can make money playing videogames. If you're part of PC Master Race, you can max out characters on MMORPG's and sell the accounts. Tons of newfags still pay for that shit. It's a total scam but you win in the end.

>>704704239This. Im always late. My agm is worse. Dude shows up 10 minutes late to a shift takes another 20 putting his work clothes on and still says he was on time. I dont say shit though cause we all back each other up.

This isn't 3,000 years ago where you got paid in food cloth & salt, putting in a hard days labour meant a good safe life, this is a world where shitting on the bottom rungs has become a science, where nepotism is hidden in a world that despises it, and unless you're at the top, theres always someone beneath trying to take a dump on you.

>>704703157>>704703423Well, you need money to live, even if you're a NEET. If you can spend your day going out with your friends, that probably means your friends have no job either, and are also depending on the hard work of their parents to go on.

But hey, dignity and independence have different values in the minds of different people.

Not saying you have to be a corporate slave, but yeah, you gotta make a living somehow.

>>704704513Haha, quite the opposite. The union workers would be slaving away in the hot as fuck factory, all proud of their hard work and mindlessness. I was in the air conditioned office as a salaried worker getting paid to surf the web and fix random computer shit.

>>704703298Oooo shit, no he ditent. Damn, this nigga dropping truth bombs like Nagasaki. As a governing rule try to begin work at least 5 minutes after clocking in. If i clock in at 11 im work by 11:03 unless something weird happened. Twenty minutes early is a good rule to go by too.

>>704690803>sick but still went to work>tell manager I'm sick but willing to pitch in>get sent to work in a freezer >her mindset is it'll make me feel better>get done with work>go home and sleep>wake up to a massive fever >catch phenomena>worry about losing my job more than my life>take meds and wait out the sickness>get pulled in to the office and scolded for my poor attendance

I only have 2 employees but I let them do whatever the fuck they want. I buy them lunch everyday. I spend a lot on them for their birthday's and Xmas. Fuck, we tell eachother "I love you" on the way out the door every night. They are both extremely hot which might be the reason I'm good to them..idk I haven't figured it out yet but I love em and under no circumstances would I fire either one of them.

>>704690803>23>$20/hr working a basic grunt job>be hard worker>be in a unionised company>manager is spineless. she wont stand up to the directors because she is a yes-woman (bad for us)>she wont stand up to her own workers for fear of the union being brought down on her (good for us)>she lies through her teeth to everyone.>one day she attempts to write me up for being on my phone, i say "maybe its time i started looking for a new job.">as previously stated im a hard worker in a station filled with dog fuckers, she knows she cant loose me.>dontgetwritenup.jpeg>find out later that she attempted to fuck over 7 other employees (some of which arnt even her responcibility)>7 people complain about her to the union.>union starts brewing up an almightly shitstorm for her.>never heard if anything came of it but since then she spends all her time kissing the directors asses and our asses as well.>21 missed days, supposed to get writen up at 10... no write up yet. today will be 22- im actualy starting to feel guilty- at this point if i did get writen up, i'd just accept it.

>>704693666True story here. Last job - bunch of cucks. Employees treared like shit. Lazy, fucking tarded and didnt care. Bust my ass 2 years. Wall in one day and all fucks gone. Become lazy cuck and almost get fired. 0 fucks given. They think i want fired and unemployment so give me shitty jobs. I just laugh. Honestley 0 fucks to give. Litterally just bust ass 10 minutes on any project and fuckoff the rest of the day. Had a spot mittor set up to see the boss comming and would sit in the parts shed until someone comes and act like im looking for shit i knew we didnt have. Dont feel the least bad about it. This job treats me pretty well, pays pretty well, and in return ill work a little off the clock or weekends some just to clean on my equipment and make sure things are good. They fucking love me and dmi do dick all but act proffessional in front of customers and take care of shit.

>>704705200The only enjoyment I get from life is watching star trek on Netflix even though I've seen them all in order several times and playing video games that are boring now. They're blocked behind money. Does that mean I'm a wage slave?

>>704703150contact HR, or whoever is the equivalent. Make it known that he's hostile towards other employees and that if it doesn't stop you're going to corporate on this situation. Put fire under their ass to snuff his fire out.

>>704705133Nah. One of them tries to hook up every time she's in between boyfriends. I'm usually a sex fiend and would gladly fuck the shit outa either of them but I'm trying to keep it professional and work on my self control. One has been around a year the other a year and half. It's really hard not to fuck em tbh because they sleep over sometimes. They always rubbing on me and being all sweet and shit. I'm 31 and they're 20 and 23. When you put a dick in a young one it always complicates the friendship..so doing my best not to fuck em

>>704705547Don't listen to that guy, literally everything in the modern world is blocked behind money. #1 cause of stress in the world is financial difficulty. Why? because fucking everything costs money.

You are a wage slave though, and it seems like you don't understand how to enjoy things that aren't made as entertainment

>>704695832This 100%. Cocksuckers gonna suck that dick anons... fuck a boss that has 0 repect for his workforce. They all deserve to be cucked. I know its a 2 way street but im a generally respectful person. Dont come bitching at me because your a 50's something ttyhard with no social life or ambishins...

>>704705447I did that once. You won't get a write-up. They'll say they're recounting the days you took off. Then a week later you'll get pulled into HR and fired. You qualify for unemployment though, because if you're fired because of a progressive point system, they have to give you a warning before they can fire you. Enjoy your free money for 6 months. I did.

>be me>admittedly not very punctual>have to take three buses to get to job, which adds to being late sometimes>get told can't be late anymore>at bus stop>girl pulls knife on another girl>step in to stop and take knife from girl>cops called>have to stand there giving account of what happened to cops>late again>fired

>be 16 >first ever job, working at a pool concession stand>towards the end of august my family is going on vacation>tell manager when it's still July that I'm not gonna be able to work for a whole week at the end of august>says to put it in the book for requesting time off>do it immediately, assume it's all good>fast forward to the week before I leave>manager posts schedule for next week, I'm scheduled to work>wtf, go talk to her>ask me very angrily why I didn't put it in the book>tell her I did, show her>well why didn't you tell me>I did>she doesn't believe me but grudgingly agrees to fix my schedule>fast forward another week while in south carolina for vacation>calls me demanding to know why I'm not at work>scolds me for not making it clear that I would be gone the entire week even though I did multiple times>get back from vacation and she officially reprimanded me for absenteeism

>>704690803Get a better job. Sounds like you're in food services or retail. Also, leave earlier. Accommodate for potential traffic by allowing yourself to arrive 10-15 mins before your scheduled time, (this is called initiative).

>>704705789>The only enjoyment I get from life is watching star trek on Netflix even though I've seen them all in order several times and playing video games that are boring now. They're blocked behind money. Does that mean I'm a wage slave?

>>704705743You'll look back on this situation years later and you'll wish you would have fucked one or both. That said, I respect that you're trying to better your self control. Props on that at least.

>>704705990I probably could have but I had already pushed my luck with them. It was a charity organization that picks up stuff from stores, etc... If we leave late we miss dock times and I did that to them too many times.

>be salary employee>massive fucking snowstorm in a place that rarely snows>roads impossible to drive on>walk to work>only person there out of 100 employees>Management tells everyone they must use vacation time if they don't show for work>Management cant make it in either>One coworker that owns a snow-mobile makes it in>sees I'm the only one there>"fuck anon, i thought i would be the only one to make it in today">coworker grabs a bottle of whiskey from his snowmobile>spend the day getting drunk and racing around on office chairs>rest of the employees are fucking livid the next day

it could have turned out worse for me but that's a good example of how management treats everyone

>>704706175I fucked a few of their friends and dated one for 6 months. One got really upset about it. Told her I love her like a sister and would stop banging her friend. She felt guilty and tried to play it off..I quit banging her friend. I could tell it bothered her. She went back to her old sweet self when I stopped fucking her friend. They don't bring friends around anymore lol

>>704706302>work in building trades in union>50% of workers show up drunk, hungover or high>most smoke weed during lunch>shop steward doesn't care>sit around until foreman starts coming up elevator>union dues support shit candidates

Honestly, I believe that the idea of "job" (not "profession", that is entirely a different concept) is created to keep uncreative, low IQ normies (who seek happiness all the time, but nevertheless fall into the trap of marginal utility) from raping, pillaging and murdering the self-motivated, creative self-sufficient people (who are not happy but content and satisfied) possibly out of jealousy and also boredom.

>>704690803>Work at small pizzeria>Coworkers are all assholes and talk shit behind your back>Ingredients suck ass>Eye-gouging prices>One of the bosses (there's two) is a perv having a midlife crisis, only hires pretty high school girls and pays them 10 dollars.>The other is a pussy and won't address the drama in the workplace, even though he's a fucking boss there.>Neither of them will fire for fear of paying unemployment. For real.>All other plebs there make 8, even the niggers that have been here for 10 years.>Waitresses are all shit talking, fat (like ball on two toothpick legs fat), ugly, and cause drama.>Kitchen faggots are all lazy, try telling you how to do your job while failing at their own.>One day waitress tries talking shit to my best friend that also works there>Get in that hoes face and tell her to fuck off>Clock out, tell the boss in text, acts chill.>Next day I walk in>"You need to be nicer to Jean, she needs help carrying the food out.">Says he's losing money now because me and bro won't help, he had to hire someone to help her.>Jean is a 400 pound landwhale with crumbling knees that cannot do the job without dragging someone away from their post.>Whynotjustreplaceher.mpeg>Ends with boss saying I need to be nicer to her and be more friendly and talkative.>Go home that night>Me and bro never go back to that place again

Not the worst, but it was ridiculous. It's a fucking pizzeria, but everyone wanted to act like it was Jersey Shore.

>>704690803My work has kind of taken a zero tolerance policy on tardiness also. Otherwise people tend to push it. 2 minutes becomes 5 becomes 15 minutes. Shit happens sometimes but they don't see it like that here. I've been told to go home a couple times. Then they wrote me up for it to document it.

>>704706882This. Why does everyone like to assume their local minimum wage workers gave up on life and resigned themselves to "wage slavery"?? That fag in the McD's tshirt might be going to school on the side, you'd never know unless you asked.

>>704707170That's funny you say that. I had the same scenario. I pointed it out to my boss. About how I'd stay 10-15 minutes late lots of days until my relief got to their posts etc. he'd rather have me out that in my timesheet than extend me the courtesy when I'm 2-3 minutes late.
